Calling it a pitcher’s duel does not do it justice, but Alex Provost came out on top Thursday afternoon, shutting out Monson through 11 innings to lead Sabis baseball to a 1-0 victory.

Provost, who improved to 3-2 on the season, pitched all 11 innings for Sabis, recording 11 strikeouts only allowing three hits and one walk. He only faced five batters in an inning once, facing four or three in the each of the other 10 innings he pitched.

"Alex was a bulldog today," said Sabis coach Ryan Gaebel. "He was very efficient... He got a lot of swings and misses on the breaking ball today."

His competition was not so bad either, as Liam Christian shut out Sabis for 10 innings while striking out 11 and allowing seven hits and two walks. It was not until Patrick Murphy came in to pitch the 11th inning that the Bulldogs scraped a run across.

The run came when Joe Malmbourg led off the inning with a base hit, Xavier Zegerano reached first on an error after a sacrifice bunt and Shayn Audet loaded the bases with a hit right afterward. Griffin Spear hit a blooper with the infield pulled in that dropped for a hit and drove in the winning run.

It was Sabis’s fourth win in a row, while Monson snapped a two-game winning streak during which it had scored 34 runs.
